Assuming that the findings of the review reflected a causal relation between smoking cessation and risk of all cause mortality, we further investigated the data by constructing life tables for a hypothetical group of 100 patients aged 65 years with early stage lung cancer to estimate how many deaths would be prevented by smoking cessation within the non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer populations during five years.

In a life table model, assuming that these observations arose from a causal relation, we estimated the benefits of cessation to be substantial; the benefits on all cause mortality seem likely to be mainly due to reduced progression of cancer rather than prevention of cardiorespiratory disease, but no studies reported cancer specific death rates to confirm this.
